Kara Fitzgerald Overman of Burlington, NC, was arrested last Wednesday after she allegedly crashed her pickup truck into the front of the Deep Creek Convenience Store, grabbed a case of beer, and drove off. More »

Workers at a Lockheed Martin plant in Texas are attempting to one-up their Michigander counterparts by drinking and smoking during lunch while building F-35 fighter jets. Cue the local news gotcha video. More »

A convoy of extreme truckers conquered snow, 250 traffic lights, and 1,614 service wires to move six gigantic one-million-bottle capacity fermenting vats from a German ship to the Molson Coors Brewery in Toronto. That's a lot of Keystone Light. More »

Hyphenated names are popular with women who want to maintain their identity after marrying some doorknob. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Toyota carries a twin moniker, but does its dowry make it not the marrying kind? More »

This weekend I risked heart failure and trans fat-poisoning at the Texas State Fair — the lard-fried mecca that invented corn dogs — to uncover the secret behind fried beer, fried butter and yes, even fried Pop Tarts. More »

Chinese army driver Li Guiwen and his buddies had a beerstorm involving driving on top of empty bottles. Li managed to trundle over 1,798, noting: "I have been training constantly." (Thanks Franzouse!) [via OrangeNews] More »

Back around 1990, when I was a broke-ass slacker and figured out how to make beer for cheap, I got into making custom photocopier-and-glue-stick custom beer labels. You've seen Powerglide Road Soda, and now I've unearthed another old label. More »

It's what every tailgate aficionado dreams of, but never actually follows through on. One enterprising VW owner installed a working beer tap on his Jetta's trunk. As long as it's disconnected while driving, it doesn't violate open container laws! [TCL] More »

What did hep early-70s skiers crave most on the slopes? You got it- tall cans of Colt .45! Aaah, nothing feels quite as good as staggering helplessly into a snowbank, your ski pants sodden with unnoticed urine and the meat of your knuckles shredded from some other skier's busted bicuspids- yes, that's what skiing is all about! But what if you've run out of 16-ouncers and you've assigned Redd Foxx to beer-run duty, and he's driving "Redd's Sled," which appears to be a rally-prepped, fender-flared proto-Colt/crypto-Galant of some sort? Hilarity ensues! Bonus points for anyone who can identify the car; I've been watching this thing like it's the Zapruder Film, and the best I can do is interpret those round pillar emblems as probable Colt items and say "Colt with weird taillights" or maybe "Cricket after a Bondo attack."

If you were within, say, 1,000 miles of the Pacific Northwest during the 1970s, you remember this ad. In fact, if you were a kid during this time, you and your friends imitated it ceaselessly… and if your family had a car with a manual transmission, you and your siblings imitated it every time gears were changed during road trips, until your parents developed a powerful thirst for something way stronger than watery Seattle brew in order to blot out the maddening sound from the back seat. We know, it's not really a car commercial, but there's an engine involved! And check it out- here's an account by the guy who wrote and produced the ad- isn't the Internet great? More »

It's impossible not to love an ad for a vehicle that includes the statement: "You're stuck on one hole and you're using a vehicle that sinks to get there. There is a better way." Yes indeed, folks, there is a better way to go ice fishing! See, all the time that you spend moving your ice-fishing shack around the frozen lake, rescuing your sunken pickup truck, etc... that's time you could be spending pounding peach schnapps! For you, the folks at Wilcraft have produced the Ultimate Ice Fishing Rig. It floats, it has tracks, and it has a built-in canvas enclosure to keep your schnapps from freezing. Thanks to Thunder for the tip! [Wilcraft] More »

Floridian Tina Williams had had "a few" drinks, lacked a driver's license, and was seen running a red light and swerving across traffic lanes; she played the "I was running out of gas" attempt-to-get-out-of-DUI card with the arresting officer, with predictable lack of success. So far we're not even talking local news story here, but there's more. What catapulted Ms. Williams into the spotlight for her 15 minutes of unwanted fame was the fact that her 1-year-old was roaming around loose in the back seat, yet a case of Busch was safely buckled up in the shotgun position. You know, priorities! [Smoking Gun] More »

Gala, the beer delivered to you in a 2CV while you lounge in a lawn chair on a hot African afternoon. And the Gala theme song is way catchier than the "Tonight's The Night" Löwenbräu tune! More »

There must be something in the air that's given the otherwise sparkling clean minds of our commenters a slightly more prurient bent. What could possibly explain the suggestion of ménage à trois in multiple posts today? Either way, there was a lot of action in the Beer Poll worthy of nomination (which reminds us to remind you about Open Container Laws), but only one reached the mixture of high school nostalgia, sexual deviance and alcoholism worthy of Dazed and Confused and our day's affection.

Sometimes the old 413 in the '65 Imperial just won't run right. That's when it's time to buy a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon and invite some of your grimy gearhead henchmen to dive into the Chrysler's innards with you! I shot this circa-1987 image on a keychain camera using 110 film, hence the excessive, Pabst-hangover-style graininess. That's the late Dirty Duck in the middle (of Legend of Hoot's Panhead fame), and yes, Ed (on the left) has an authentic mullet. More »

Back when I was young and broke and living with a houseful of other young, broke slackers, we figured out that it was possible to make our own beer; once the beermaking hardware had been purchased and enough non-twist-off bottles had been obtained, the opaque, yeasty homebrew we bootlegged up in the garage cost about $5 per case to produce and usually tasted tolerably good. Well, tolerable, anyway. Thing was, guests at our parties were afraid to drink beer out of ominous-looking unlabeled bottles, so I quickly set to work with the old ransom-note cut-and-paste layout technique... More »

One of the benefits to alcoholism is the sheer quantity raw materials you can accumulate. And considering aluminum is the weight-saving metal of choice among carmakers, perhaps it would behoove the auto industry to be run by a bunch of drunks. That's not to say the guy who built this '65 Mustang facsimile out of Bud cans is an alky, but the 23-year-old UK design student did put down a Budweiser four-pack each day for three years, collecting 4,000 cans for his Mustang project. It sure beats the hell out of our own "beer can scale model of the East Rutherford, New Jersey interchange" we once built for a friend as a travel aid. It didn't help; he's still out there somewhere.

When we saw this minitanker mit bier thema — duallies, high Schlitz shifter, bull's head hood ornament and exposed u-joint — it was as if we'd found our hot rod soulmate. It's low, it's rough, it's a little bit ugly, but it is creative and it brings (or pretends to bring) hoppy refreshment to the unwashed masses. There isn't much not to love. If there were beirmaidens involved we would have never left.– Ben Wojdyla More »

One of our resident reviewers proved you can go home again by getting some action from Jean Jennings. No, not like that. Austin went back to his old Automobile boss and picked up a gig driving an Impala solely on E85 from Michigan to the Coors brewery in Golden, where they not only brew beer, but manufacture ethanol. And then, y'know, he drank some beer. Because if there are two things Austins know how to do well, it's grow top-quality Blue Spruce, Norway Spruce and Canaan Fir trees and consume alcohol. More »

In a sheer stroke of synergistic bliss, the kids over at Gizmodo have uncovered this brilliant combination of ingenuity, laziness, slovenliness and just gosh darn good times. Sure, it's basically a golf cart with a 54-quart Coleman stainless steel ice chest attached, but it also solves that already well-addressed problem of never being without on the 7th hole. As for the commenters saying "Why would you want to get up off the seat to get the drink," they obviously haven't met the right drink girl at their local course. More »

A Foster's Lager truck apparently lost its sense of balance and tipsied on up, expelling its cargo of kegs all over South Philly's Schuylkill Expressway. And it apparently wasn't being filmed for a clever ad. But we're still sitting here repeating "Remoawt Controawl" over and over in our best Paul Hogan accent and reminiscing about this really cute Australian girl who went and got knocked up before we were clear for a shot at her. She so hated it when we used to get right in her face and say, "Beeeah!" And then she'd slap us playfully and made us sorta wish we weren't kinda dating the person who introduced us. More »
